Abstract The World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools (WUDAPT) is an international community-based initiative to acquire disseminate climate relevant data on the physical geographies of cities for modeling analysis purposes. current lacuna globally consistent information a major impediment urban science toward informing developing mitigation adaptation strategies at scales. WUDAPT consists database portal system; its structured into hierarchy representing different levels detail, are...
Abstract. Online coupled mesoscale meteorology atmospheric chemistry models have undergone a rapid evolution in recent years. Although mainly developed by the air quality modelling community, these are also of interest for numerical weather prediction and regional climate as they can consider not only effects on quality, but potentially important composition weather. Two ways online coupling be distinguished: integrated access coupling. simulate over same grid one model using main time step...
Abstract. Data assimilation is used in atmospheric chemistry models to improve air quality forecasts, construct re-analyses of three-dimensional chemical (including aerosol) concentrations and perform inverse modeling input variables or model parameters (e.g., emissions). Coupled meteorology (CCMM) are that simulate meteorological processes transformations jointly. They offer the possibility assimilate both data; however, because CCMM fairly recent, data has been limited date. We review here...
This global study, which has been coordinated by the World Meteorological Organization Global Atmospheric Watch (WMO/GAW) programme, aims to understand behaviour of key air pollutant species during COVID-19 pandemic period exceptionally low emissions across globe. We investigated effects differences in both and regional local meteorology 2020 compared with 2015–2019. By adopting a globally consistent approach, this comprehensive observational analysis focuses on changes quality around cities...
Accelerating growth of urban populations, especially in developing countries, has become a driving force human development. Crowded cities are centres creativity and economic progress, but polluted air, flooding other climate impacts, means they also face major weather, environment-related challenges. Increasingly dense, complex interdependent systems leave vulnerable: single extreme event can lead to widespread breakdown city's infrastructure often through domino effects. The World...
Abstract. This review provides a community's perspective on air quality research focusing mainly developments over the past decade. The article perspectives current and future challenges as well needs for selected key topics. While this paper is not an exhaustive of all areas in field quality, we have topics that feel are important from policy perspectives. After providing short historical overview, focuses improvements characterizing sources emissions pollution, new observations...
Abstract. Dust particles from high latitudes have a potentially large local, regional, and global significance to climate the environment as short-lived forcers, air pollutants, nutrient sources. Identifying locations of local dust sources their emission, transport, deposition processes is important for understanding multiple impacts high-latitude (HLD) on Earth's systems. Here, we identify, describe, quantify source intensity (SI) values, which show potential soil surfaces emission scaled...
Abstract Risks associated with dust hazards are often underappreciated, a gap between the knowledge pool and public awareness that can be costly for impacted communities. This study reviews emission sources chemical, physical, biological characteristics of airborne soil particles (dust) their effects on human environmental health safety in Pan‐American region. American originates from both local (western United States, northern Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina) long‐range transport...
Abstract. Urban air pollution is associated with significant adverse health effects. Model-based abatement strategies are required and developed for the growing urban populations. In initial development stage, these focussed on exceedances of quality standards caused by high short-term pollutant concentrations. Prediction effects implementation information systems require accurate forecasting episodes population exposure, including modelling emissions, meteorology, atmospheric dispersion...
Abstract. The impact of climate change on surface ozone over Europe was studied using four offline regional chemistry transport models (CTMs) and one online integrated climate-chemistry model (CCM), driven by the same global projection future under SRES A1B scenario. Anthropogenic emissions precursors from RCP4.5 for year 2000 were used simulations both present periods in order to isolate assess robustness results across different models. sensitivity simulated changes between 2000–2009...
Planetary boundary layers (PBLs) represent sensitive and changeable coupling agents that regulate the fluxes of energy, momentum, matter between atmosphere land or sea over a range scales, from local to global.Numerical weather prediction (NWP), climate, air pollution, coupled atmosphere-hydrosphere-biosphere models all include PBL schemes as submodels.With development high-resolution models, requirements for have dramatically increased, making them key element modern model suites address...
The Arctic is a sentinel of global change. This region influenced by multiple physical and socio-economic drivers feedbacks, impacting both the natural human environment. Air pollution one such driver that impacts climate change, ecosystems health but significant uncertainties still surround quantification these effects. air includes harmful trace gases (e.g. tropospheric ozone) particles black carbon, sulphate) toxic substances polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) can be transported to from...
Abstract. A detailed characterization of air quality in the megacity Paris (France) during two 1-month intensive campaigns and from additional 1-year observations revealed that about 70 % urban background fine particulate matter (PM) is transported on average into upwind regions. This dominant influence regional sources was confirmed by situ measurements short longer-term campaigns, aerosol optical depth (AOD) ENVISAT, modeling results PMCAMx CHIMERE chemistry transport models.

Non-technical summary Manhattan, Berlin and New Delhi all need to take action adapt climate change reduce greenhouse gas emissions. While case studies on these cities provide valuable insights, comparability scalability remain sidelined. It is therefore timely review the state-of-the-art in data infrastructures, including earth observations, social media data, how they could be better integrated advance science urban areas. We present three routes for expanding knowledge global areas:...
